I have the opportunity to buy an intake manifold, ecu, and trottle body off a '01 ITR for a very good price, but i'm just wondering if it's a worthwhile upgrade. Also, will I need a V-AFC for this. I can also get the cat. Is it a direct swap? Is the length different from a '01 GSR?

I depends how much it is going to cost you, but if it is a great price I think it would definitely be worth your it.

 

Anyone else?

 

No you will not need a VAFC. If you kept the GSR ECU then it would be useful to reprogram the VTEC xover but you're getting the ITR.

I would do it.

 

hope you're aware that the ITR intake manifold does not just bolt on to the gsr (the skunk2 bolts on). modification necc.

 

What needs to be done. Is it worth it? Thanks for the info.

 

"On B18C1
This fitment requires the most extensive modification. Only the bottom bolts line up. The intake ports are way bigger (taller) on B18C1, the top bolts don't match, and the coolent passage is also off. There are two ways do modify the Type-R manifolt to fit. One is to weld up the coolent passage and re-shape to correct size. Re-do the port to the B18C1 size (however, I think injector will sit far too low and disturb the airflow), and redrill the top bolts. Another way is to cut up the B18C1 two stage manifold and also the Type-R manifold, then weld them together and maybe a little clean up inside the ports is required. This way is probably less work the hacking the R manifold, but you're also cutting up a perfectly good B18C1 manifold."

I think its a good idea, so you gotta do a little modifying but when you reach the final product you will be satisfied.

 

Thank for the replies. Can anyone answer my question about the ITR Cat?
